Bavarian Inn Clock - Frankenmuth, MI - Carillon on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
This clock definitely keeps time. Bavarian Inn's Glockenspiel Tower houses a magnificent 35-bell carillon, a beautiful figurine movement and an illuminated clock, all imported from Germany! Before striking the hour, and on each quarter hour, the clock sounds the 5-bell Westminster chime.

At 11 a.m., Noon, 3, 5, 6, 9 and 10 p.m. each day the Glockenspiel plays several selections which are immediately followed by figurine movement depicting the legend of the Pied Piper of Hameln.

The original German word "glockenspiel" is literally translated into English as "bells play"; a more idiomatic translation might be "musical bells". In German usage it may be applied to any carillon-sized or chime-sized tower bell instrument which plays music.
